As our children enter Kindergarten, they begin their formal religious school education. We mark this new beginning with a beautiful ceremony of Consecration, celebrated each year at the Simchat Torah Shabbat service. We rejoice and dance as we begin to read Torah once again this year, and we celebrate how our young ones also begin to learn from Torah for the first time. Our kindergarteners are recognized, blessed, and given their own (little) Torah to keep.
